CONWAY, Ark. (March 14, 2017) – Hendrix College Radio Station
KHDX-FM 93.1 is a founding member of the new Arkansas College Radio Association (ArkCRA), a support and resource network of college radio stations in Arkansas.
“The future of college radio in Arkansas looks bright,” said KHDX Technical Director Jacob Turner ’19, President of ArkCRA. “We are very pleased to have launched a state-level organization that is the first of its kind in the nation to bring together college radio stations to support and assist each other in our development and operations, as well as to work to help other colleges start their own stations.
“One of our hopes is that ArkCRA will help provide stability and support for student-run radio operations, which can sometimes struggle with staff turnover,” said biology professor Hendrix. and KHDX Advisor Dr. Maureen McClung. “Charter stations include established organizations and those just starting out, so the ArkCRA presents many opportunities for collaboration.”
“The energy behind this organization is incredible, and true to college radio, it’s completely student-driven,” McClung added.
KHDX members joined their peers from KUOZ from the University of the Ozarks, KXUA from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and NUMediA from the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith for an inaugural meeting last month at Hendrix .
Other founding members of ArkCRA include KVHU at Harding University, KWEM at Arkansas State University Mid-South, and Red Wolf Radio at Arkansas State University at Jonesboro.
